Paperlegends Art: Illustrations and Fanmix for Awake
Title: Illustrations for Awake
Artist: phoenixacid
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur
Summary: King Arthur sleeps in Avalon, waiting to return at the hour of Albion's greatest need. But once a year he awakes and spends a single day with Merlin, who will never, ever leave him.
Medium: Pencil
Artist's Notes: Firstly, I'd like to give the biggest of thanks and squishes to my writer, corilannam for giving me and my art a chance, and for always being there. Your fic is just absolutely beautiful and it gave me so many ideas; I wish I could have illustrated them all. I also have to thank the_muppet for her modly patience and for being awesome. We had an absolute blast (and a near coronary towards the end) with this whole endeavour and I hope you all will enjoy our efforts as much as we did. ♥
You all need to check out Cori's fic, Awake! She's such a brilliant author, I'm so lucky to be able to
collaborate with her on this amazing fic. I hope we'll get a chance to work on another
project someday, lovely.
Artworks:
à mort
anguish
asleep
amore
alone
anger
[LAST ART TO BE ADDED]
Story break:
I chose to draw the branches of Avalon's magical apple trees because it's a recurring element in the story.
Fanmix:
Here is a selection of songs I used to help me get into the mood for arting.
Each song has lyrics (added in the annotation sections) that reminded me of Awake in some way.
awake - josh groban | a thousand years (part 2) - christina perri | time after time (acoustic version) - eva cassidy |
i will follow you into the dark - death cab for cutie | awake my soul - mumford & sons | gone, gone, gone - phillip phillips |
i'll hold my breath (demo) - ellie goulding | be still - the fray | never gonna leave this bed - maroon 5 |
still into you - paramore | kiss me - ed sheeran | can't help falling in love - ingrid michaelson
